  • Ashley Hamilton lives locally with her husband and her beloved French bulldog, Ellie. When she's not occupied with work, she finds solace in lifting heavy weights, going for leisurely walks, and spending time with her husband and furry companion. At heart, she considers herself a homebody.

    Ashley's journey towards prioritizing health and fitness began in 2014 when she sought something to challenge her and break her out of her comfort zone, which had predominantly revolved around running.

    In 2014, she stumbled upon CrossFit Bolster, realizing that CrossFit was precisely what she needed. It pushed her boundaries, challenged her limits, and steered her away from her comfort zone. However, in 2016, Ashley experienced a setback due to a back injury from overtraining and neglecting proper self-care. She had fully embraced the CrossFit ethos, but her back injury brought her to a halt, leading to numerous doctor appointments where the suggested remedies were pain medication and cortisone injections. Despite the medical advice, Ashley was certain of the pain she was experiencing.

    Determined to find a different approach, she turned to bodywork instead of solely relying on medical interventions. In 2018, she commenced chiropractic adjustments, which provided some relief. Subsequently, her chiropractor recommended a massage therapist and a fascial stretch therapist. The combination of these therapies brought Ashley profound relief, with fascial stretch therapy particularly standing out. It left her feeling liberated, her spine decompressed, and even able to touch her toes—an achievement she hadn't experienced in a long time. Amazed by the results, she queried her practitioner about the technique, to which he explained it as "Fascial stretch therapy." From that moment, Ashley harbored a desire to someday assist others in the same transformative way that she had been helped.
